It's been awhile since I have posted anything.

I was maybe a little nervous to start talking about how I'd decided to stay home and work things out with SO despite the many issues we had faced in the last six months with his child (SD18) that lived with us.

I left for a week at the end of March and nearly ended my relationship.  I opted to buy a house, and did end up proceeding with the purchase of a nice four bedroom home in the same town where I worked at.  However, the possession date was not till June 1st, so I still had a lot of time to be at the farm before then.
